Delivered by a faculty of global experts, the program’s curriculum is curated to the unique opportunities of each year’s cohort and exposes Fellows to the six Kinship Conservation Pillars for market-based solutions:

  • Leading Adaptively
  • Iterating for Scale
  • Designing for Governing the Commons
